Fortunately for you they did not show an Adam Sandler movie during this flight or you may have done it.

hard to say because I could not keep up with the injuries and IR etc--most teams keep 8 active on game days, so I am guessing 9 or 10.

I think the Panthers will keep on the 53-man roster 9 offensive linemen. So who is "at risk" of being cut? Cutting Jordan (LG) saves $1m (almost) in cap room. Cutting Daley saves about $1m in cap room. Cutting Erving saves about $2m in cap room. With that in mind, it is likely the following remain on the roster (Bold are projected starters): Bozeman (C, G) Corbett (RG) Ekwonu (LT, G) Chritstensen (T, G) Moton (RT) Elflein (LG, C) May (Swing T, G) D. Brown (RG) Erving (Swing T, G, C) I actually think we will keep Erving because he has experience with all 5 positions and cutting him sends $4m to the dead cap and only saves $2m.

Basically, doing nothing was not an option, and if Corral has a 30% chance of becoming a starting QB, do you do it? I do---the floor is a backup QB--so the cost is minimal, while the payoff is very much higher than what they paid. I am OK with that. I was starting to get pissed that they were not moving up for the QBs in the third round--not sure which I liked hte most, but I kinda wanted Willis. However, I see Corral's upside.

Bears just released Foles, fwiw.

waiting until the end of the third round is not patience? Wouldn't drafting a QB in round 1 have been a "panic desperation move?" I completely disagree with your take on this.

He was aligned with the Steelers through Noll, Cowher, and Tomlin--all covered about a half century. He sees stability in the coach, and I do not think he will impulsively fire a coach (in his mind). He has already demonstrated a willingness to overlook Rhule's nonsense after giving him so much power. "My wife liked Chubba when OKSt played Baylor...so I drafted him." "Hey there Mr. Long Snapper--you've been drafted by the Panthers..." that, along with his coaching hires, 20% of the roster being occupied by Baylor and Temple players, etc. was not enough to signal to Tepper than he may have made a mistake. It seems Rhule is under wraps now--but I really do not know what his area of expertise is--he is not a proven leader, he is not a personnel expert, and he is not a game manager.

For all of you gloom and doomers: Last year, we did not know what Darnold would be. This year, we have developed support around him to make him better--and added a potential franchise QB. Last year, our best offensive player (CMC) and what could be our best defensive player (Horn) were injured. This year, they should be healthy. Last year, our offensive line was a clown show. This year, we have added an elite LT, added a veteran C and a veteran G. This year we have upgrades at S, LB, OL, and RB. 2022 will be about the QB play. If we can improve there, we have a decent chance.

Based on performance, but the haul is what is being evaluated. For a second (basically) we got a former top 10 in draft QB and a mid first round CB for a third. Both (regardless of bias) should be better in 2022, so like the rest of the draft, the jury is still out. I agree with the NFC South comparisons. Corral, as you say, is the key to this draft. If he becomes a starter, there are not many drafts where you find your franchise LT and QB in the same draft.

We got an elite LT (will need to develop some pass protection skills) A QB who could be starting at some point late in the 2022 season A LB (Smith) who could compete for a starting position An Edge who could work into the rotation at some point. And if you want to get technical, we got CJ Henderson and Sam Darnold

About Khalon Tolson--5'11" 231 lbs. 4.51 40 and benched 225 29 times. Impressive numbers. A bit short, but hey, so was Sam Mills.

So far, I am seeing nothing that promising

just a space eater--nothing more, obviously

there used to be a site where you can track the undrafted signings--anyone know which is the best?

Jo Jo Domann OLB Jayden Peevey DT a S, a TE, a T

Trading up for Brandon Smith will prove to be a huge move.

I still do not feel that we addressed the QB position, but I will be pulling for Corral to surprise us.

We sure did draft speed late in the draft--

Snow said he wanted another S--we have CBs out the ass. Is there a chance they convert this "ball hawk" to S where he is facing the LOS?

They mentioned S before the draft, but I do not see it. I think TE--but not sure we find enough of a player in round 7. Sterling Weatherford S Miami of Ohio (if he has not already been drafted) would be interesting. Jack Sandorn MLB Wisconsin is another idea---no clue

Remember last year when Rhule was bragging about drafting Chubba based on his wife's recommendation? (Chubba iwas in the top 5 in RB carries that went for zero yardage--21%) Remember when Rhule called a long snapper to tell him that he was a sixth round draft pick? Not seeing that kind of thing this year.

Did not think Huddlers would catch it.
